The battle was going fairly well all things considered, at least for a situation where he's a Ground type fighting Water Types. 'Secret Power', it turns out, is a very handy move when it comes to dealing at least some neutral damage against something he'd otherwise go down hard against.
He still doesn't understand the awkward air between them, though. Maybe it's because of the company he was used to growing up with. Maybe it's just that he's only had company beyond that since coming here, to a place where combat realistically writes so many interactions. Emporio fits in well with the locals, and he picks up a lot from them.
One of those things is how often Pokemon just brawl.
But ah, it seems he wasn't quite as careful as he thought, because one minute he hears the sound of gushing water and the next he's hearing the faint and watery sounds of Noelle's voice.
"Mnhn..." Heal Pulse has helped at least. A little, anyway.
